Just doing a little forecasting this morning and from my perspective things couldn't be breaking better for us. We already know that we'll be on the opposite side of the bracket from Duke/ND. That leaves the biggest threats on our side UNC/Louisville, both who I feel we match up with well.
Additionally, it looks like NCSU and Miami will probably be on the Duke/ND side of the bracket. Since these are the 2 teams I worry (mildly) about most outside the "Big 5", I'm glad they might be on the opposite side of the bracket.
That would leave the Clemson/(Pitt or FSU) game winner as our first round game (none remotely scare me) and then a game verses the UNC/Louisville winner if the tourney goes chalk.
Obviously, there are still a few moving parts and nothing is given in a single-game elimination tourney, but IMHO things are breaking the way I wanted to see them break.
I want another shot at Duke so bad I can taste it.
